Quotes in JSX are double quotes even if singleQuote is true

See original GitHub issue

This is replicable in the demo environment: the singleQuote variable works properly for vanilla JavaScript but does not affect JSX, which is always double-quotes.

@atombender prettier will not honor the --single-quote option for JSX. This is an explicit decision and we’re not looking into changing it.

Prettier is an opinionated printer, if you do not like the decisions that were made, I’m afraid that you either have to fork it to make them match the way you format code or not use prettier 😦

JSX was designed to be close to HTML and people use double quote to write HTML, so are we at Facebook and a lot of people writing JSX.
